March 201015.03.2010 A woman robbed a bank in the city of Pleven. She threatened the three employees of the bank with a gun and left the building with undisclosed amount of money. Last month another (or the same ?) woman made a similar robbery in Sofia.20.03.2010 Federation of Anarchists in Bulgaria (FAB) organized first ever protest against detention center for emigrants in Busmanci (district of Sofia). Around 40 people participated. There was a heavy police presence. Emigrants waved through windows and showed pictures of their families.February 2010Funny! In the first day of the month a single woman made a successful robbery as she managed to tie down one security guard. She is still not arrested. Go go girl!For the first time the classical text "Armed Joy" (1977) by Alfredo Bonanno was translated to bulgarian and we are very happy!from actforfreedomnow

from cette semaineBarcelona, Saturday 27 March around 14h30, an agency of the Caixa Catalunya bank was attacked in the Clot quarter, in Barcelona. Some windows were destroyed with stones and hammers.This attack took place within the framework of the day of struggle against repression, called for today. We encourage other acts of sabotage and anticapitalist destruction to intensify and multiply.Freedom to the prisoners in struggle ! Solidarity with the immigrants on hunger strike in the detention centre of Zona Franca ! May the violence of poverty and repression turn against those respponsible ! May the fear change sides !

30 March 2010from cette semaineDuring the night between Sunday 28 and Monday 29 March in Paris, the two entrance doors to the Greek orthodox church, rue Lafferière, were set fire to.Two cashpoints and the windows of the BNP bank, rue de Bretagne, were shattered : this bank owns one of the biggest Greek banks, Piraeus Bank.Solidarity with all the hostages of the State (for stealing bread or placing bombs). Good luck to those who are being pursued.Let's make the crisis worse, here as elsewhere !

30 march 2010Eleven vehicles were burnt, causing a total of 150 million pesos (about 210 000 euros) damage in a fire that broke out in a car rental depot situated near the airport of Santiago, Chile during Friday night.The fire broke out around 8pm in a building of Rent A Car. The flames spread rapidly, setting fire to a vehicle leading to a chain reaction reaching ten others.The police (Lacrim, investigative police - PDI) are looking into the origins of the fire, which they believe was caused intentionally.

30 March 2010Night of revolt in the detention centre (CIE) of Ponte Galeria in RomeDuring the night between 29-30 March, immigrants without papers locked up in the identification and expulsion centre in Ponte Galeria in Rome rebelled, denouncing among other things the way they were treated, « like dogs ». Fires started, destruction, occupation of the roofs, clashes with the forces of repression that turned up en masse in anti-riot gear, the revolt lasted nearly all night. Newspapers talk of thousands of euros damage, today the prison is without water or electricity...This morning prisoners were divided into "good" and "bad". Among the bad about fifteen men who had been filmed on cctv camers were chosen and apparently taken to another ofthe many categories of prison that exist in Italy. They could be brought to trial very quickly.Meanwhile, this afternoon, in the women's wing where it seems that women are completely knocked out by sleeping pills and other chemical straightjackets mixed in their food, the situation was calm, the nth deportation charter for Nigeria has begun and a number of Nigerian were taken away.Solidarity without borders and freedom for everybody with or without papewrs!Liste Rétention, 30 mars 2010.translated from cette semaine

The past 24 hours find us in an extreme emotional antithesis…On the one hand, great sorrow for the death of the 15-year old Afghani and the injury of his sister and on the other hand, maximum rage for the reportages of the media which totally arbitrarily and purposefully try to involve our organisation in this event. We are not usually “bothered” by the panic-ridden scenaria of the media, yet the importance of the event forces us to take a public position directly, without a connection to any attack of ours. For this reason we CLEARLY STATE THAT THE CONSPIRACY OF CELLS OF FIRE HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE EVENT IN QUESTION. We know only too well that our word against the word of the Anti-terrorist unit does not have the same exposure, since the media, in a paid mission, “photograph” and slander our organisation and our supposed involvement in the explosion in the [neighbourhood of] Patisia [, Athens].For this reason we turn to every thinking individual, in order for them to understand the dirty game that is being set.For all the above we declareFirst – as we have already written in the communique following our attack against the National Insurance “…the time given for the evacuation of the building was set with knowledge of the number of forces held by the police in the surrounding area. In the future, depending on the geographical characteristics of each area, we will set the time frame for evacuation accordingly. Our aim is material destruction and police are always warned so that they can evacuate each area on time… “. And so, it would be inconsistent and murderously careless for us to place an explosive device in a heavily populated area, without a warning call.Second – in the case that the phone call to the [corporate TV station] ALTER did indeed take place in the morning of the same day, it would be criminal neglect for us to “abandon” the explosive device for approximately 14 hours with the possible danger of an explosion that would have passers-by as victims. THE RISK WE TAKE AS REVOLUTIONARIES PRESUPPOSES EVEN OUR MAXIMUM PERSONAL EXPOSURE AS COUNTER-BALANCE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT. In plain words, we would neither give a time limit of 6 minutes, knowing it is impossible for an area to be evacuated in such time, nor would we leave a device exposed without us ourselves going, with our personal exposure, to pick it up. This is also part of the claim of responsibility of our choices.Third – it is our standard tactic , in order to avoid the malfunction of each device, to always place two clocks (and not one, as it has so far been leaked by the media) so as in the case of the malfunctioning of one of the clocks, the second one to operate instead.Fourth – always, the warning calls that we make are to at least two institutional media in order to avoid any misunderstanding on the side of the phone operators, as well as a possible cover up of the warning call, as has happened in the past to other organisations. Also, there is always a full and detailed description not only of the target where we have placed the device but also a reference to certain roads, the size of the explosive device and the relevant advice for the evacuation and sealing off of buildings (the hotel La Mirage in Omonoia square in the case of the [neo-nazi group] Golden Dawn, the blocking off of both lanes of traffic and surrounding buildings]Fifth – in the case of the placement of an explosive device at the house of the vice-president of the Greek-Pakistani Union in Patisia, having knowledge of the area and the mobility of migrants in the area, we gave a time limit of 20 minutes to the police and used for this reason, a low-intensity explosives (handmade black gunpowder) and not the explosive material we used at the offices of Golden Dawn or the Police Directorship for Immigrants. Also, it was no coincidence that the explosives were placed outside the storey of flats, not inside – as we wanted to avoid in any case a possible injury of the tenants. Finally, we are no judges, prosecutors or police reporters to reach easy conclusions. At the end of the day, the truth for what happened is only known by the perpetrators of the action. In the POSSIBLE CASE that the particular explosive device was placed by a Revolutionary Organisation then revolutionary dignity dictates a public claim of responsibility with the relevant self-criticism which would clear up the scene, otherwise political anonymity sabotages the revolutionary direction and “charges” an entire strategy, that of the urban guerrilla.The conclusions are many along with the reminder that if it is really a “blind” attack then it is a very specific political tendency that finds itself to the right of the state and has a special preference for such practices (Piazza Fontana, Italy – explosive device by parstatal extreme-rightists) under certain conditions of social tension.EVERYTHING CONTINUES…CONSPIRACY OF CELLS OF FIREGUERRILLA GROUP OF TERRORISTSNIHILIST SPLINTER

A 15-year-old boy was killed when a bomb exploded outside a public building in the Athens district of Patissia late Sunday night, his 10-year-old sister was seriously injured and their mother suffered superficial wounds.The family, Afghani nationals, are believed to have been searching the garbage bins for food and other items. Citizens Protection minister Michalis Chryssohoidis, who rushed to the scene, said that terrorism has shown its most abhorrent face, and pledged that the perpetrators will be found and brought to justice. According to latest reports by police, citing the mother, the girl found a travel bag next to a garbage bin and opened it up to see what it contained. The son, who approached the travel bag, saw a clock which he believed was broken and took the travel bag and threw it away, at which time the explosion occurred, dismembering the boy and injuring the girl. Police have cordoned off an extensive are around the explosion site, and counter-terrorism police and bomb disposal experts were still combing the area for evidence on Monday morning. Although there was no warning call for the explosion, which occurred at 10:41 p.m. outside the building housing the Hellenic Management Association (EEDE) on the corner of 1 Iakovaton Street and Ionias Avenue, police are investigating a possible link between the explosion outside the EEDE premises and a warning call several hours earlier, at 8:46 p.m., to private Alter television station that a bomb would explode in six minutes (at 8:52 p.m.) in Patissia at an "EBEE" building, according to announcements by police and the ministry. Police found no service with the initials "EBEE", while no explosion took place at or after the time claimed by the anonymous caller. Police are investigating the possibility that the anonymous caller had given mistaken details. They are also investigating the possibility that the call was unrelated to the actual explosion, in which case it is highly likely that the bomb had been planted just minutes before it was found by the migrant family before the perpetrators made a warning call. Several other possibilities are also being looked into. The results of crime lab tests are awaited to see if the syndesmology of the bomb is similar to that of others from recent explosions.The girl was rushed to a Children's Hospital in Athens. According to initial information collected by police, the migrant family went to the area every night, searching the garbage bins for food or other items.from actforfreedomnow

March 25th, Greek Independence Day. Panepistimiou Avenue, central Athens.At a certain point in the military parade the Greek army’s underwater commando unit OYK, come down marching along the Avenue chanting the slogans:“You are born Greek, you never become one; we’ll shed your blood, Albanian pigs.”“There will be bloodbath and then I’ll take revenge, when you bow to the flag and the cross”“They call them Skopjans*, they call them Albanians, I’ll stitch clothes with their skin”(*Skopjans is the derogatory term greek nationalists use for Macedonians) cheered on by the admiring crowd.This is not some fringe far-right group, it is armed units participating in a national fiesta, chanting they’d stitch clothes with “enemies’” skins. Whatever happens “next” in this city, in this place, it would probably be wise to remember that this time round, there’ll be scum like them out on the streets – we’ve been warned, it’s only a matter of getting prepared…from occupied londonhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hslGF-0KRqI&feature=player_embedded

source: corriere.ittranslated from informa-azioneMILAN - An explosion injured a postal worker in the sorting office of via Lugano in the northern area of Milan Saturday morning at 5.45. As the person assigned to the job was sorting the envelopes one of them, it seems addressed to the Northern League in via Bellerio, caught fire. The sorter sustained light injuries to his face and hands. Explosives experts arrived at the sorting office and are checking envelopes and packages, and the Digos (political police) are carrying out investigations.In the claim found inside the envelope there was a phrase against the minister Maroni. This particular, which emerged during examination, has been officially confirmed by the police carrying out investigations. «They rape inside the Detention camps - can be read among other things on a piece of paper - Maroni is accomplice to these acts. ».THE CLAIM - According to indiscretions, the missive has been claimed by the same group of the galaxy of the Fai (Federazione anarchica informale) that struck the Bocconi university lastDecember. This is a group that signs itself «Sorelle in armi », and on that occasion had placed an explosive tube in a tunnel of the university, that only partly detonated during the night, perhaps by mistake.THE WITNESS - «I heard a bang, a dull sound and people running towards Pietro. Then they evacuated us. I know that he was wounded in the hands and his hair was singed. He was stunned. It was just before 6 and we were sorting the correspondence when the explosion took place, then the ambulance came and took Pietro away.» the words of a colleague in the gardens near the post office after the evacuation. Forensic police took away an envelope and residual material from the explosion.A WORKER - «Sometimes we don't think about it, but when such things happen close up it is difficult to work knowing that any letter can be dangerous».

text first appeared on the Italian anarchist website Anarcotico in 2003today might be a good day to reread it

I am certainly not nonviolent. All the same I can understand someone who hates violence to the point of wanting to banish it from their life; someone who would never kill, would never use force in order to be heard; who, because of their character and aptitude, prefers not to have recourse to it. But I can only understand all this if it is a question of individual choice. When nonviolence is presented as a method of struggle, a road to be followed, when individual ethics become morals and a collective project, it seems absolute nonsense to me, useful only to justify lack of action and an obstacle against those who rebel, an absolute value to impose on the weak to allow the strong to forget them in comfort. On the edge of the abyss, with the earth more and more under enemy fire, the invitation to use only good manners can look just like that. Do as you like but don’t preach to me.That said, I am not a fanatic of violence either. Idon’t like those who boast about their own feats in such a context, I don’t justify their apology as an end in itself, I detest those who consider it the only solution possible. I consider it a necessity in the struggle against power, nothing more. Like Malatesta, I too don’t believe in ‘placid sunsets’. I don’t believe that the reinforced concrete with which power has covered our existence will melt upon the blooming of the flower of freedom lovingly planted by the spreading of our ideas.Precisely because I am not nonviolent I cannot stand moralistic condemnation of acts of violence. The hypocrisy makes me sick. But precisely because Iam not a fanatic of violence, I also cannot stand any acritical exaltation of these acts. The stupidity of that really gets on my nerves.Read on....http://turbellaria.blogspot.com/2010/03/on-few-questions-concerning-anarchists.html

This Thursday morning, around 11am, the quiet of the supermarket Carrefour in Schaarbeek was disturbed for some time. Dozens of people decided to leave with their bags filled without bothering about the cash point. While leaving, they left some chocolate money and a pamphlet: Crisis or no crisis, we are always more to do our shopping with big pockets or small bags. It's a daily gesture, we accept to pay the pasta but the chocolate, they can forget about it. First of all because we don't have the money, secondly because we do not want to chose between a luxury deception and a discount deception and feed our frustration more than our stomachs. But today we are serving ourselves openly, in group, to spread the good news: the workers of Carrefour chose the spontanous strike as a first response. Because maybe if sometimes, around the corner of a department, worker and thief are adversary, both are abused by Carrefour, be it by a bill or a work contract. And each to his own way to hurt mister Carrefour, by hitting his wallet directly. Now while the syndicates are negociating, taking control of the response, a question imposes itself. Is it his cash or rayon we are defending, or the possibility to not pass anymore days and years being there to make money in order to survive? Be it in interim or dispensable labour, or life contracts, what is there to defend for those who receive only the crumbs? In the best case, a nice amount of money to live some months without the hands bound by work. So let's not wait anymore. Open up the Carrefours and after, why not all the others? May everybody take according to his needs. It's no longer enough for us to inflict damage on the bosses; we have so much to gain. In the first place, freedom.25.03.2010Translated from http://www.cemab.be/news/2010/03/8922.phpfrom suie e cendres

ROVERETO. The incendiary attack carried out during the night between Sunday and Monday aganst a Unicredit cashpoint in Volano, near Rovereto, has been claimed.

In a letter sent to the local editorial offices of the daily L'Adige, the anonymous dynamiters claim the action, making reference to recent investigations of the judiciary against members of the anarcho-insurrezionalist area, and the death of a young Greek anarchist, Lambros. The document was consigned to the police station in Rovereto for further investigations by the Digos [political police].

The rudimental device, a bottle with inflammable lqud lnked to a cigarette, exploded a few minutes after a passerby had stopped at the cashpoint to withdraw money and called '112'[police].

Most defendants in this trial are anarchists, and to accuse anarchists of ‘instigation to committing crime’ is a very easy task, just as shooting at the Red Cross.Bearing a sense of justice and freedom that has nothing to do with the law, every anarchist makes of his or her life a continuous invitation to struggle against injustice, and therefore to violate the laws that produce such injustice: the life of every anarchist is a long and reiterated ‘instigation to commit crime’.Waiting for some legal step that finally establishes that anarchists as such are criminals, those who accuse us today are compelled to prove that someone, from outside, has pushed the prisoners in the migrant detention centres all over Italy to revolt every week for the past two years, thus causing damages of thousands of euros and disrupting the machinery of deportation. And they have to find some evidence that this ‘instigator’ is sitting today on the bench of the defendants.This evidence can’t be found anywhere in the arrest warrantts we have here. And it can’t be found because there has never been any ‘instigation’, and it was not necessary or right that such instigation occurred. Primarily because people do not need appeals and alluring slogans in order to revolt. On the contrary, it is injustice that originates conflicts, which in turn might lead to revolts.And here is the injustice, and an obvious one. They claim that people who risked everything they had in order to reach our cities be thrown out without saying a word. Or that people exploited for years in yards, fields or kitchens of fashionable restaurants let themselves be thrown out. Or those who arrived here as children and don’t have anyone waiting for them in their countries of origin also let themselves be deported. And as if this was not enough to generate conflict, inside the migrant detention centres people without documents are deprived of everything, reduced to a mere body left to die for lack of medical treatment or for desperation, a body to be beaten or sexually abused – especially when women are involved.If all this is true – and you will find it is in the very documentation of this trial – the conflict in the migrant detention centres is not only natural but it is also the only instrument by which the imprisoned migrants can reaffirm their being human, a fact otherwise denied.For this reason migrants didn’t need to wait for us or for anyone else to start struggling and trying to climb or destroy those walls. And they haven’t stopped doing it now, with great shame for those who arrested us in the ridiculous hope of bringing peace where peace can never be.There has never been a need for external ‘instigation’ because the methods and ways of the struggle must be autonomous, must mirror the experiences and conflicts of those who are locked up, must find their own time and expressions. It wouldn’t have been right to say: ‘now you go on hunger strike’ or ‘tomorrow you burn a couple of mattresses’ – as the prosecutor is stupidly claiming.On the contrary, what we have always said is: ‘we are here’. In other words we have offered our means of information and network of contacts, we have encouraged relations between the various detention centres in struggle, we have come forward to amplify the prisoners’ voices as best as we could, we have promoted our initiatives along with those taking places in thedetention centres. All this can certainly affect the course of events, but to call it ‘instigation to commit crime’ is bullshit typical of the Italian police, and it is also almost offensive towards us.To tell you the whole truth, even if it might sound strange to you, it was the prisoners that have ‘instigated’ us over these months, and they have done it in a very simple way, by revealing their stories so that we could tell them, by organising themselves in secret so that photos of beatings and films of police charges became known outside, by teaching us that one can climb onto a roof and shout ‘freedom!’ even if he or she knows the response will be a severe beating. The terrifying images of soldiers charging inside the cages of the migration centre of Gradisca are images that oblige us to do something because they put our conscience against a wall.The real problem of this city, therefore, is not ‘who instigates who’; the problem is those who do not let themselves be instigated, those who see and go on as if they had seen nothing.But that is another story.

from suie e cendres 24 MarchLANTIN - A few weeks ago, prisoners of Lantin rebelled and destroyed the new isolation module. The module was completely destroyed and is now closed. All prisoners were transferred to the other isolation module in the prison of Bruges. The two isolation modules (in Lantin & Bruges) were built almost two years ago as a reaction to the several escapes and riots in the Belgian prisons, to isolate those who revolt. Already in April 2009, the isolation module of Bruges was temporarily closed after a serious uprising. Prison authorities, unions of guards and press kept silent about this revolt. Only three weeks later, the news filtered through the walls.

It was funny."Another witness described a surreal atmosphere with people laughing, smiling and taking as much as they could carry.Workers at a nearby flower shop helped police gather up the money in boxes. Several people ended up bringing some of the cash into the police station.But only about 10,500 dollars had been recovered by the end of the day, the Columbus Dispatch reported."We're hoping that more people do the right thing," Whitehall Police Sergeant Randy Snider told the paper.Police are examining surveillance camera video and photographs from cell phone cameras to try to track down the people who grabbed the money.

the factsThe detonation took place in the Bank of Chile agency opposite the shopping mall, Mall Plaza Vespucio, in the La Florida comune. The explosion occurred at 23.45 and caused damage to a wall and a window of the bank. Police of the Grupo de Operaciones Policiales Especiales de Carabineros rushed to the scene and, after carrying out the first tests, established that it was a question of an artisanal bomb, but were unable to establish the detonation system, the container and type of explosive.CommuniqueDuring the night, Tuesday, we decided to attack one of the main expressions of capitalism: a bank (Banco de Chile, La Florida).Corrupt businessmen along with the thieving politicians and bosses of the country have decided to manipulate the catastrophe and the crisis that is affecting us following the earthquake and the tsunami that followed, as a prosperous and lucrative affair, in which we can get ourselves into debt as before, but with more instalments, showing the "charitable" and disgusting face of these distinguished gentlemen in suits and ties, real clowns of corruption. This is the best scenario for them to increase their profits and increase social and capital inequality.

The urban guerrilla group “Conspiracy of Cells of Fire – Guerrilla Group of Terrorists” claimed the responsibility for the bomb that destroyed completely the central offices of the fascist, para-government organization Chrisi Avgi (Golden Dawn), for the bomb that was placed outside the Police Directorship for Immigrants in Petrou Ralli street, and for the bomb that hit the house of the vice-president of the Greek-Pakistani Union. They claimed the actions through a communique, entitled “Dilemmas in time of war”, and is published in Athens IMC. (http://athens.indymedia.org/front.php3?lang=el&article_id=1146707)

The communique is quite long and has historical facts and their point of view about the issue of the immigrants and the reaction of the native population since 1990 and until the recent law about nationality. They also present some facts about the fascist organization Chrisi Avgi and show (as many people already know) that it is actually a group controlled by the police and the secret services. The text ends with two announcements, the first talks about the upgrade of the repression, the arrests that happen in relation to their organization, and their view about a new strategy that the urban guerrilla groups should follow. The second announcement is about Lambros Foundas, in honor of whom they chose to name for this action the cell that realized the bombings as “Commando Lambros Foundas”.

BERGAMO - Francesco Obinu, the fourteen year old boy from Cassano d'Adda (Milan) who was wounded a week ago by the explosion of a molotov cocktail made for fun along with a couple of friends in the industrial zone of Cassano, has died.

The boy was taken to Riuniti hospital last Sunday, where he had been transferred after being taken immediately to Treviglio (Bergamo). The youth had wounds all over his body, especially in the abdominal region and his condition immediately appeared to be serious, but seemed to have been improving. One of the other boys is still in hospital, but is now out of danger.

In Baradero, in the province of Buenos Aires, a municipal police patrol that was controlling traffic started to chase then crash a motorbike ridden by two young people. The two motorcyclists were thrown to the ground and died instantly.

The reaction of the people was immediate and led to the burning of the patrol vehicle and an assault on the town hall. Over 2,000 furious citizens.

“Last night the office of Lloyds private banking in Bristol was attacked. on the night of wednesday the 17th of March 2010, the Lloyds private banking office at 131 Pembroke Road, Clifton, Bristol was attacked. a plaque with ‘Lloyds private banking’ was removed from a wall and taken away. walls of the building were sprayed with: ‘in the shadow of a dark horse lies a capitalist bailiff ‘, and ‘bankers up against the wall’. pipes and cables to cooling fans etc to the building were cut. two windows were smashed. night night”

The remains of a bus stop lie around the collapsed perimeter wall of the Athens Aliens Bureau following the explosion of a homemade bomb there on Saturday afternoon. The blast, which had not been claimed by any organization by late last night, caused widespread damage, including a 1.5-meter crater in the ground, but no injuries.

A powerful homemade bomb detonated outside the building housing the Athens Aliens Bureau on Petrou Ralli Street on Saturday afternoon, causing damage but no injuries.

Police cordoned off the area after an anonymous caller phoned in warnings to Eleftherotypia newspaper and Alter private television channel at around 3.30 p.m, warning that a bomb would go off at the bureau’s premises. The blast occured 15 minutes later, damaging the wall and fence around the building, a bus shelter and nearby shop windows and leaving a crater some 1.5 meter deep in the ground. According to police forensic experts, who were examining the remnants of the device for leads to the perpetrators, the bomb had been placed in a plastic bag near the bus shelter.

Earlier on Saturday, a bomb exploded outside the home of a Pakistani community leader in the run-down district of Aghios Panteleimonas, near the city center, which has a burgeoning population of immigrants. The blast caused no injuries.

There had been no claim of responsibility for either of the attacks by late yesterday.

The blasts came just one day after a powerful time bomb detonated outside the central Athens offices of the extreme-right Chryssi Avgi (Golden Dawn) organization, causing significant damage but no injuries. An unidentified caller telephoned Eleftherotypia 25 minutes before the blast, prompting police to evacuate the building, which is on busy Socratous Street, near Omonia Square, as well as a neighboring hotel and surrounding roads. There had been no claim for the attack on the Chryssi Avgi offices by late last night.

from Greek daily KathimeriniDNA tests thwart terror probeDNA tests on drops of blood found at the scene of a shootout last Wednesday in southeastern Athens match the blood of Lambros Fountas, the 35-year-old terrorist suspect killed in the exchange of fire, according to counterterrorism police officers, who had hoped the blood would shed light on the identity of a second man who eluded arrest.The blood found at the scene of the shooting also failed to match blood samples gathered from the sites of recent terrorist attacks and bank robberies, thwarting police efforts to link Fountas to domestic terrorist groups such as Sect of Revolutionaries and Revolutionary Struggle.Police believe that the second suspect is a member of an anti-establishment group with links to another recently formed terrorist group, the Conspiracy of the Cells of Fire. Officers who were at the scene of the shooting last Wednesday claim to have recognized the second suspect before he fled.Police have stepped up their investigation into Fountas’s suspected involvement in terrorist activities after a search of his home at the end of last week turned up a detailed map of the capital’s surveillance cameras.Sources told private television channel Mega yesterday that police fear a revenge attack by domestic terrorists for Fountas’s death. These fears were fueled by the discovery of the map, which pinpoints all the capital’s street cameras and includes notes regarding the scope and blind spots of each camera’s lens.Officers have also boosted their search for a possible hideout and have intensified surveillance of the dead man’s relatives and close friends. Seven keys found at Fountas’s home in Ambelokipi, near central Athens, are being tested but have not yet matched any addresses linked to the suspect.Police have also asked the director of the private diagnostic clinic where Fountas was employed for a list of the dates the 35-year-old had taken off work to determine whether they correspond with those of any domestic terrorist attacks.

Posted in Crime, 11th March 2010 23:59 GMTA former data analyst for the US Transportation Security Agency has been accused of trying to sabotage a terrorist screening database used to vet people with access to sensitive information and secure areas of the nation’s transportation network.A 46-year-old man who worked as a TSA contractor for five years, planted the malicious code in the server used to maintain the database in mid October, a week after he was told his employment would be terminated at the end of the month, according to documents filed in US District Court in Colorado.

Police forensic experts yesterday were comparing the fingerprints and DNA of a 35-year-old man killed in a shootout with police in southeastern Athens on Wednesday with forensic evidence gathered from the sites of various terrorist attacks and bank robberies.

Police were examining the contents of a cell phone and laptop found at the home of Lambros Fountas in the district of Ambelokipi, near central Athens. Officers also raided the homes of Fountas’s relatives and those of individuals believed to have had links with the 35-year-old. Among the individuals summoned by police to testify is a woman alleged to have been romantically involved with Fountas over the past three years. According to sources, the woman claims to have had no inkling of the 35-year-old being involved in terrorist activities.

Police yesterday also interviewed the director of a private diagnostic clinic in Ambelokipi where Fountas worked. According to the director, Fountas had asked to take Thursday off, saying that he had to take his mother to her hometown. This revelation is believed to have confirmed police suspicions that the 35-year-old had been involved in plans to carry out a terrorist attack on that day.

Fountas and another two suspects were seen trying to steal a car from the southeastern district of Dafni early on Wednesday. Fountas was killed in a shootout with police who surprised the suspects.

Based on the results of forensic tests carried out on evidence found at the scene, police believe that one of the other two suspects had participated in a recent attack carried out by Revolutionary Struggle.'

The judge presiding over the trial of two policemen charged with the murder of 15-year-old Alexis Grigoropoulos in Exarchia in December 2008 quit yesterday, complaining that the prosecution lawyers had cast doubts about her impartiality following her questioning of testimony given by a witness to the shooting.“I cannot take anymore. My impartiality has been questioned before the trial has even begun,” Angelita Papavassileiou, said. She condemned the behavior of lawyers on both sides, accusing them of “turning this court into a wrestling ring even though I know you drink coffee together.”Papavassileiou’s withdrawal came after the two prosecution lawyers said they would quit due to the judge’s interpretation of some laws.It is unclear who will preside over the court on Wednesday when the trial is to resume with testimony from a friend of the dead teenager who had been with him on the night of the shooting.

Terrorist link in Dafni shootout

A 35-year-old man who was killed during a shootout with police in the southeastern Athens neighborhood of Dafni early yesterday is thought to have been involved in Greece’s domestic terrorist scene, source said.

Lambros Fountas was shot dead when he and an accomplice were seen by two police officers in a patrol car at 4.40 a.m. as they attempted to steal a parked vehicle.

Fountas had been known to police since he was arrested during disturbances at the National Technical University of Athens in 1995. He allegedly had contact with members of the Exarchia-based anarchist movement and had been on the anti-terrorist squad’s watch list for a long time.

The suspect with whom Fountas was allegedly attempting to steal the car managed to evade arrest but based on forensic tests carried out on evidence found at the scene, police believe that the second man had taken part in a recent attack carried out by Revolutionary Struggle.

The urban guerrilla group has carried out a number of attacks in recent years, including firing a rocket-propelled grenade at the US Embassy, murdering a witness protection officer and detonating a car bomb outside the Athens Exchange.

Sources suggested that the two men had been stealing the car so that it could be used in an imminent strike.

According to the police, the two suspects had already broken into the Seat Ibiza when a patrol car pulled up a short distance away. One of the officers turned on the siren, prompting Fountas and his accomplice to jump out of the vehicle and begin shooting at the policemen. The officers took cover behind their patrol car and in the ensuing exchange of fire, the 35-year-old was killed.

A Zastava handgun, with two bullets missing from the chamber, and an assault grenade were found in his possession. He was also carrying a walkie-talkie and wearing two pairs of leather gloves. Police also searched Fountas’s home but did not reveal if they had found any clues.

Police in Korydallos, near Piraeus, yesterday were seeking the two gunmen who shot a guard who had been on duty outside the local jail complex, causing him serious injuries. According to prison staff who witnessed the shooting, the assailants, both Albanians, had served time at the jail. The motive for the attack remained unclear.

The prison director concludes that he did 8 years more than he should have done.

The prisoner Amadeu Casellas was released at midday today, 9 March, after 24 years in prison. The director of the penitentiary centre of Girona worked out the cummulative sentences according to the old and the new penal code, and on balance concluded that Casellas has served 8 years more than he should have done.

Sources close to the prisoner have explained to VilaWeb that for along time Casellas and his comrades had been denouncing this situation and that he was serving years more than he should have done, but those responsible for Justice and the prisons "were denying it".

A group of around 20 youths wearing masks and hoods yesterday stormed into a branch of the Sklavenitis supermarket chain in Kaisariani, eastern Athens, and loaded up several trolleys with food before charging past the cash registers and distributing the goods to passers-by in the street. After distributing the goods, the thieves fled. Such raids became a frequent occurence in some Athens neighborhoods last year after self-styled anarchists promoting the “free distribution of goods” claimed responsibility for the first raid of its kind in May 2008.

At 2 am this morning, Tesco Metro on Lodge Causeway was attacked with bricks and spray, with broken windows and "no more Tesco" sprayed on both sides of the store.This action is not to pressure not to build more Tesco stores, but as a total rejection of all they represent.

BRUSSELS - Last week, a molotov cocktail / incendiairy device caused important damage to the biggest Police Academy of Belgium, situated in Evere (Brussels). The device would have been placed next to a gas connexion. Several windows exploded, part of the front of the building is blackened and several parts of the building are burned. The authors had to cut through fences to get to the building. This building was a very symbolic and sensitive target, according to the police syndicats who are complain about having again served as targets. The investigation, led by the Brussels Parquet, continues actively, internally and externally. The authors knew the place very well and its lack of security (absence of concierge etc).

from: Agua Daspedras26 February, Leiria – the screws in the prison of Leiria beat up a prisoner after he refused to hand them the TV in his cell (as a punishment for coming back a few minutes later). Seeing this, many prisoners demand to talk with the prison director before they re-enter their cells. The director refused, and ordered the guards to beat every prisoner that was causing trouble. At that time, the prisoners who were in the refectory resisted the beatings, and the guards opened fire on them. After running away to the cells, the prisoners were beaten one by one, and the cells were raided. Two days later 6 prisoners escape.9 February, Lisbon – Center for Judiciary Studies attacked with paintbombs.“Solidarity with the prisoners in struggle and with the comrades persecuted by Justice, here and elsewhere.Freedom for António Ferreira de Jesus, serving a hidden life sentence.Freedom for the anarchists Alfredo Bonanno (who has a serious health condition) and Christos Stratigopoulos, imprisoned in the Greek concentration camps.Freedom for all.”6 February, Lisbon – flyers handed out in the downtown in solidarity with the prisoners in struggle and against the society that builds up prisons.31 January, Sintra – Sunday afternoon, a banner with the words “THE PASSION FOR FREEDOM IS STRONGER THAN THE PRISON” appears hanging in the train station of Portela de Sintra.On the same day, flyers are distributed at the entrance of the prison of Linhó (Sintra).

Prison is not only its building in a distant and isolated place. It is the entire world that builds it and needs it, and all the companies, institutions and people supporting it and collaborating with it in a direct way. To struggle against prison is to struggle against its world. It is in the acts of insubmission, small or big, that we recognize ourselves. And it’s acts of insubmission that we want to spread.”29 January, Lisbon – in the morning of 29 January the words “SOLIDARITY PRISONERS IN STRUGGLE!” appears painted on the façade of the cathedral of Lisbon.26 January, Lisbon – posters against prisons and in solidarity with the strikers in Linhó are glued around the prison of Lisbon.22 Janeiro, Sintra – 3 cars of prison guards are burnt with molotov cocktails, in the “prison guard neighborhood” of the prison of Linhó.

Saturday, 6 March 2010

Comrades, we are writing to you to make known the delicate situation being lived in the city of Concepción. We have been widely covered by the media, in morbid and boorish way, supporting the excessive militarisation and security measures now so ridiculous that we have only 6 hours a day "free transit". Moreover, we want to denounce the scarcity that has stricken the great majority of poor citizens, who get many promises but no solutions.

1.- Until now, no authority - apart from the military - has turned up in the poor areas even to examine the damage caused by the earthquake or to know whether the people are dead or alive.

2.- An example: in the Aguita de la Perdiz quarter the citizens, in desperation, went en masse to plunder the Santa Isabe supermarket. This supermarket doesn't sell electrical goods or luxury items, and the people took what they needed, i.e. food and water. The same thing happened in other poor areas. Instead, the TV has spread ad nauseam an image of someone taking away a plasma television set. We are not condemning the looting of electrical goods, simply stating that this is a small-scale phenomenon compared to the looting of products that are indispensible such as food water and milk.

3.- Because of the looting, the authorities have decided to "punish" different sectors, leaving them without help and without restoring essential services. The town mayoress, recently nominated governor of the region by the right wing government, frankly admitted it.

4.- PDI agents have circulated absurd rumours, such as that "hordes" of delinquents would have descended upon the town (there is no petrol and there are soldiers everywhere. How would the "hordes", get there, by helicopter?). All this has created a climate of insecurity and paranoia among citizens, who have formed rounds to keep watch in the areas during the night, with clubs and firearms. A really dangerous situation which with the tiredness, tension and hunger can unleash acts of violence between the poor themselves.

5.- At the moment food is starting to get scarce in the poorest areas and there is no money to buy anything.

6.- Health conditions are horrendous, children and old people are beginning to get sick. The health clinic and hospital are collapsing.

7.- NO HELP HAS ARRIVED. If there had not been looting over the past few days the people in the poorest areas would be starving to death. We know that the situation is even more tragic in other cities, but this "punishment" of a whole area for not having respected established order seems to us to criminal behaviour, to say the least. Finally we consider the rumours spread deliberately by the PDI should be considered acts of terrorism, because they are aimed at striking terror among the poor.

Around 12.00 the Fuerzas Especiales de Carabineros broke into the Occupied Space La Idea with the pretext of the receiving of stolen goods.But suddenly an excavator appeared with an order from the town hall to demolish the house, with all the books and material that was inside it.Unlike other raids, the media were not present. Presumably the magistrate that had ordered the eviction had entered the building to accuse those responsible for the house of hypothetically receiving stolen goods.We are awaiting further news, given the difficulty comrades have in moving due to the militarisation of the city.

“Odio Squat Punk” di Valparaíso violently evicted by a group of the Communist Party

source: Columna Negra, 04.03.10

Valparaíso, 4 March - Around 11am a group of 8-10 members of the Communist Party evicted the occupants of the house “Odio Squat Punk”, in calle Aldunate 1566.After tearing out the door of the building with a mallet the members of the CP went inside, throwing out the 3 occupants who were having lunch. One of them was slightly wounded.The house had been occupied since December 2008, inside there was a fanzine library with over 2.000 zines from all over the world. They also carry out open activities in the community, such as a kitchen, a cine-forum, etc.Before then the place had been abandoned for years without anyone taking possession of it, which led to the squatting and opening of the liberated space. A couple of Communist Party militants turned up in the first weeks of the occupation, claiming ownership of the property, a situation that has been going on for some months, especially with the approaching of the elections. .....after chasing away the occupants, the CP militants started to destroy the graphic and literary material. With the excuse that there was "dangerous material", they prevented anything from being taken out of the house until the police arrived at 12.30.As we write, comrades are arriving to help to take away the stuff that is still in the house, in the presence of other CP militants and even leaders such as Dr. Neumann - councillor in the commune of Valparaíso - and the bourgeois press. The situation of the inhabitants is uncertain, given that the comrades that opened the squat, two young people with a small son, are not in the region.

MANAMA : Security forces clashed with a group of Chinese workers who had taken hostage at least nine of their superiors near a construction site in Zallaq, 25 km south of the capital Manama, Saturday morning.Police stormed the barricaded worker-housing compound after a siege that lasted several hours, freeing the nine men and arresting 26 workers of the approximately 150 residing in the camp.The operation occurred after negotiations led by the Ministry of Interior and a Chinese diplomat failed to persuade the Chinese workers to release the hostages, who included architects and foremen at the job site, ministry officials said.The officials, who requested anonymity, said the workers, employees of the state-owned China State Construction Engineering Corp (CSCEC), alleged that the nine men were mistreating and underpaying them.The workers had demanded the nine men be sent back to China and be replaced.Sources at the Interior Ministry confirmed that 28 workers were detained, while one of the hostages and four policemen sustained minor injuries during the clashes. They were later taken hospital.The workers started a wildcat strike on Friday, but the issue was resolved after negotiations with the Ministry of Labor and the Chinese Embassy.But the workers gathered again Saturday morning and took nine senior Chinese staff hostage to press their demands.Founded in 1982, the CSEC is the largest construction enterprise, real estate developer and international contractor in China.

The Chilean authorities have imposed a curfew in the Maule and Bio Bio regions, in the centre-south of the country, 37 hours after the earthquake that has caused over 708 deaths... The authorities lack of help for the victims has unleashed the anger of the people that have been struck, pushing them to loot supermarkets, chemists and shops to find what they need.This has pushed the authorities to react, not to help the population, but to repress and safeguard the interests of the big commercial chains. For this reason a curfew has been declared from 21 to 6 in the morning to allow them to guarantee order and the protection of the large commercial centres and supermarkets with the justification of protecting one of the inventions of the neo-pinochestista system : the so-called " middle classes ".http://culmine.noblogs.org/

THAT'S WHY WE WANT THE DISTRUCTION OF THIS WORLD WITH THE MOST DYNAMIC METHODS.

A daily life that is controlled by disgusting politicians and scientists and is analyzed under economical terms has nothing but nothing to offer to society. Society? We don't mean the millions of hypnotized, users of pills, besotted in front of the TV, the payed slaves or comformists, the neutral minds about everything that take care only for themselves, those who take something positive from the situation today, anyway those who carry on the ethics of this world. We understand a different part as a society. A different part with another view on reality. A part of the society that at this times has in their mind the idea of undermining this world; to make a revolution like none of the alleged earlier ones. Individually and collectively to bring social liberation in reality. Not with temporary autonomous "liberated" homes inside and around the cities and utopian imaginaries in today's time but with aspirations for them to take action now to a very flexible and real-destructive urban guerrilla. Please stay away from the movements of passivity and reformism. The struggle against the state and capital shall become one, single and shocking.Let's draw even a little bit more of hatred for the cop-pigs who killed with 9 bullets the 25 years old Nicolas Toddi beacuse of their utter stupidity to misunderstand him for a different person. When you listen 'security', you gotta know that someone is smelling for human flesh. But also let's also draw hatred for the other guys, the 'protectors of citizens' who attacked the demonstration in Vyronas district. These so called 'protectors' is nothing more than a terrorist gang with white helmets, batons and tear gas who serve as faithful dogs the dogma of counter-revolution. Freedom for the arrested persons.The State is vindictive? You will see how vindictive we can also become. You still exterminate A. Bonanno in the jail? You enforce us to keep more fire in our hands.So the midnight hours on Saturday and Sunday (27-28/2) we engaged ourselves in acts of arson in Thessaloniki against Millenium Bank and a townhall's vehicle.source: http://athens.indymedia.org/front.php3?lang=el&article_id=1137998
